About Amanda Coggin
The 5 things always on my to-do list
- 1. Write
- 2. Meditate
- 3. Slow down and then dance
- 4. Do yoga or play tennis
- 5. Keep traveling to far off places
My favorite mistake was
- that I thought anything I ever did was a mistake.
If I could donate $1 million to charity, it would go to
- an organization to teach Americans to go within to find their happiness, not consume.
My most overused phrase is
- "I'm sorry" when I'm on the tennis court. I only hear the women saying it and I hate that we do that. It's just tennis.
My Favorite Quote is
- Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there.
- by Rumi
More about Amanda Coggin
I'm tickled pink that I can make a living doing what I love to do: write about how life cracks me up, blows my mind, and the silly experiences that keep it all flowing. I've moved enough times that I can’t keep track on my fingers and toes and have traveled to over 35 countries. On a jaunt to Honduras, I crossed off one of my biggest fears from my list to discover the underwater world of respirators, coral, and how one swims alongside the fish. It helped that my dive instructor was a hot Argentinian. Only a few more fears to go, which I'll write about once I conquer them. I call San Francisco home since I've been here for fourteen years, except for Asia where I lived for two years, which still feels like my second home, just like the rest of the world does whenever I get out there to travel in it. Some of my life's most precious and challenging moments can be read at AmandaCoggin.com where I spend most of my time working through the puzzle pieces of blog posts that will become my next book.
